On March 29 ICHD started the implementation of the project "Facilitating the Participation of Youth Groups in Monitoring Parliamentary Elections" , which is supported by the OSCE  office in Yerevan. The goal of the project is to increase  the level of youth participation in the election processes and allow the participants  to act as independent observers during the elections. Two-day training was offered to about 50 participants from Lori, Shirak, Tavush, Aragatsotn and Kotayk regions. The training covered topics such as the RA Electoral Code, international standards of fair and transparent elections and the roles and responsibilities of  election observers. A simulation was used to highlight the most common electoral frauds and to recommend solutions. The project will continue till June 30.
